This book, originally published in 1974, examines the changes that
took place in the market position of the coal industry in the
twentieth century. It examines in detail the position of the
industry during the two World Wars, the problems of the inter-war
years, the effects of nationalisation and the coal shortage after
the Second World War, the decline of the markets in the 1960s and
the consequences of the energy crisis of the early 1970s. The book
analyses what problems the changes caused, and what measures were
taken to try to overcome them. Looking in detail at the industrial
disputes of 1971/2 and 1973/4 the book shows how the miners'
actions fitted in closely with their past experiences and behaviour
patterns.
